A room with a view

Disaster struck as we left Rome behind when about half way through our five hour journey to the Amalfi Coast I realized that we had actually left our passports in the B&B safe!!! Fortunately we were able to get the owner to courier them to us (thanks Vittorio), but we didn’t receive them until right before we had to leave. It was a rather nervous wait I have to say. Luckily the place where we were staying was conducive to relaxation – Casa Angelina was, quite frankly, pretty awesome. I knew I was going to like it as soon as I was introduced to the man who was going to be at our beck and call during our stay: He would make us whatever our little hearts desired. Sigh – I could get used to that kind of service.

We didn’t leave the hotel during our stay and I stole as many freebies as I possibly could. We’re talking L’Occitane toiletries here people! No sooner had I secreted a hand cream away, there was another one in its place. The restaurant deserves a mention if only for the water menu. Yes, that’s right – a menu just for water. And top of the list was an €130 bottle of water. I would be hard pressed to spend that much on a bottle of wine, let alone water. Naturally being the irreverent person that I am, I laughed my ass off. Chris just informs me that I also said “what the fuck” to the shock of the waiter, but I don’t remember that 🙂 Food was fantastic though.

We’re in Naples now, just about to head to the airport to fly to Nice. We’ve only been here one night so I can’t really find anything worth mentioning about Naples. I suspect even if I’d been here a bit longer I wouldn’t be overly enthused but we did do the Pompeii thing and my feet ache like it’s nobody’s business. As I always say: “Seen one ruin, seen them all”. Ciao.
